With google drive for work pre-fetch is constantly fetching 1mb blocks on it's request, causing large API hits and limiting throughput to the drive.
On a 1gbps line pre-fetch can achieve about 60-70mbps if nothing else is happening at the time. If it's uploading/verifying/etc it's much slower. This will vary depending on latency of course, as it makes the request time disproportionately large compared to download time.
I'm currently testing out 4k content streaming and it's just not possible with the throughput offered at the moment.
Could an option be added to let it be <= block size? This would let us scale prefetched data on fast lines much better (400mb prefetch on 20 threads at 20MB block size would be crazy fast).

Is there any way we can customize this?
